In the film, when Mr. Fox finds out he’s about to have a family, he is forced to give up his wild ways of chicken coop raiding. Then, one day when Mr. Fox decides to buy the family a new home inside a tree on top of a hill, he is faced with the ultimate heist. Not one, not two, but three farms all ripe for the picking. How could Mr. Fox resist? So he decides to pull one last job… Well, three jobs. But, when things go south, and it’s not just Mr. Fox that has to pay the price. It also puts the whole animal community in danger.

Wes Anderson has really outdone himself. The decision to use stop-motion animation was absolutely brilliant! It totally adds to the look and feel of the film. Unlike most animated films, Anderson decided to record the cast’s vocal tracks on location, and not in a sound booth. So, if the scene takes place in a field, actors George Clooney and Meryl Streep recorded their vocal tracks together in an actual field. It may not sound like a big deal, but that’s unheard of! Most actors working on animated film don’t even meet each other until the premiere. I can’t wait to see the DVD footage of the actors in character, playing out a scene on the countryside somewhere. George Clooney is brilliant as always, and Meryl Streep is a perfect addition to the Wes Anderson family. I really hope he uses her in a live action film someday. But, I’ve got to say, Jason Schwartzman really steals the show as Mr. Fox’s son Ash. And, you have to love Wes’ eye for detail. At the end of the film, and I’m not giving anything anyway, Ash is drinking a grape juice-box while everyone else is drinking apple. It’s the little things like this that make him one of my favorite directors. The best part of this film is that even though it’s an adaptation of a children’s book, it’s still very much a Wes Anderson movie. It’s true to its source material, but still has the dialog and everything you would come to expect from a Wes Anderson movie. And, unlike Where the Wild This Are, Fantastic Mr. Fox can be enjoyed by kids and adults alike. What the cuss else do you want me to say? Go see this cussin’ movie! Cuss!
